To the east of Blazing Feather Island, a milky white ship sailed smoothly on the sea, and a pale golden film of light wrapped nearly two hundred meters around the hull, like a golden spindle. Everywhere the light went, the flames subsided, the thunder retreated, and the dark ocean regained its blue color.

It seems that the immortal weather has descended from purgatory.

In the fairyland, a tall, thin, scholar-like aristocrat stood at the bow of the ship and leisurely lowered the telescope in his hand.

As the sail shadow of the black ship of the Qin State in the distance completely submerged below the sea level, the nobles let out a disdainful spit.

"Tsk, the nouveau riche who flaunts his might, he can't get rid of the smell of earth on his body for 1,800 years. ”

Before the words fell, a companion behind him laughed and said, "What's wrong with Lord Xue?"

The Shengyuan nobleman named Xue Duyu raised his head and said, "It's just that when I observed the surrounding environment of Blazing Feather Island, I saw the ugliness of the black ship of the Qin State again, and I was unconsciously disgusted. ”

"The black ship of the Qin Kingdom. The companion was an old man with long hair, and he said while stroking his beard, "I remember that the ship was just built by the Qin State 10 years ago, and it can be said that it technically condenses the essence of the Qin State, why can't it enter the eyes of Lord Xue?"

Xue Duyu sneered, glanced at the long-haired old man, and said in his heart that this long-time old friend is really worthy of being an old friend, and he is so skilled in digging a pit for himself that he is fluent.

The construction of the black ship of the Qin State began 20 years ago, and the construction period lasted for ten years! Not only did it condense the essence of the Qin State, but it also received the help of Shengyuan's experts during the period, which can be said to be the strength of the magic technology of the two countries. If he subconsciously belittles the black ship's technique here, he will inevitably injure Shengyuan's own family by mistake.

This old thing has no subjective malice, it is purely a bad friend made after many years, and he likes to dig a hole for himself when he has nothing to do. Xue Duyu was not angry in his heart, but he refused to show flaws in his mouth, groaned for a while, and responded.

"There are a lot of technical merits, but the design is very small from the beginning. From masts, sails, ramming angles...... Of course, there are wonderful, but the overall idea is only utilitarian, which is basically to see the moves, which is diametrically opposed to my Shengyuan's frank and generous, all-encompassing style, and it is also a superior judgment. ”

The long-haired old man couldn't help but nod when he heard this: "Your current craftsmanship in the Black Qin Kingdom is indeed getting better and better, even if it is made up, it is the same as the real thing." ”

Xue Duyu's tone is not in one place, what is the meaning of making up nonsense? That black ship is as hideous as a beast, how can it have the grace of a king? Compared with the luxurious and generous Shengyuan Golden Boat, isn't it just a high judgment! To find this kind of suitable angle of criticism, Xue Duyu really took a lot of brains, this old thing actually deliberately ignored his efforts!

"The people of the Qin State are anxious for quick success and quick profit, and they are vulgar, which can be described as a conclusion and consensus, and the specific black ship is just a peep in the tube, so why make it up? I just tell the truth frankly, don't say it, I seem to be taking revenge for personal gain. ”

"Haha, so your article on the forum was criticized as worthless by Qin Ren's original poem, and you didn't hold a grudge at all?"

"You have to stop exposing the old thing!"

"Haha, you guy usually the grandmaster is self-conscious and pretending, I haven't seen you grit your teeth like this for a long time, it seems flesh and blood, so it's inevitable that your skills will ......be itchy for a while."

"Is this a matter of itching?!"

The bearded man said again: "You are in an irritable mood this time, most likely because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lost the Blazing Feather Island Conference...... But even if we lose the competition at the conference, we still make money. Didn't those snowy mountain people be invited to the ship by the council chief? I think it's very profitable to lose the game and win the tribe. ”

Xue Duyu frowned and said, "Old Wu, your kind of thinking is the same as that of the Qin people who are eager for quick success, only looking at practical benefits and not major righteousness. Perhaps from the perspective of practical benefits, my Shengyuan did not lose, but at the Blazing Feather Island Conference, the high-level leaders of the two countries witnessed the results together, and in a general sense, my country undoubtedly lost...... However, I don't like the Qin people, and it's not because of the victory or defeat of a conference. Even if the Shengyuan victory is triumphant this time, I still have to criticize the Qin people!"

"It's true, with your temperament, I'm afraid that the criticism will be even more rampant when the time comes. ”

"What is rampant, you can't change the word for it?"

"I'm just curious, you are usually a hearty and generous person, why do you want to be so persistent with the Qin State that is far away from the Sea of Hope?"

"Any Shengyuan person has a reason to look down on the Qin State, have you forgotten how the Qin State was founded? 1800 years ago, they established the Qin State on the bones of 400,000 Shengyuan people. ”

"You know it was 1,800 years ago......"

"The Qin people did not establish the country properly, and it has never changed in 1800 years!"

However, just as Xue Duyu was about to further argue that Qin Guo was unbearable in order to persuade his old friend, he suddenly found that his old friend's face changed, and he took half a step back, his long hair thrown in the air, like a ribbon.

Xue Duyu was also surprised, and subconsciously wanted to turn back, but heard a stranger's voice coming from a place behind him where there shouldn't be.

"1,800 years ago, what happened to the Qin people?"

As he spoke, the person who suddenly appeared behind Xue Duyu stepped in front of Xue Duyu, showing off his dazzling full body armor and six pairs of brilliant wings......

Xue Duyu was stunned for a moment, squinted his eyes, and saw the true face of the person from the intense light pollution.

And then I was shocked.

"Lu Farewell!?"

An exclamation caused the entire golden ship to tremble faintly.

In the distance, there was a faint sound of alarm bells, the screams of the crew, and the sound of soldiers quickly lining up and approaching quickly.

Lu Bieli watched coldly, put on a detached posture, and admired the graceful and luxurious Shengyuan Golden Ship in a mess due to his arrival.

Xue Duyu was the first to come back to his senses, and rebuked incredulously: "Are you crazy?! This is not a place where you can go wild! The speaker is on the boat!"

Lu Bieli glanced at him, and the height difference made this glance full of condescending contempt, which made Xue Duyu angry and bloody, and couldn't help tiptoeing, as if he wanted to fight to the death against Lu Bieli on behalf of the motherland.

Soon, however, a pleasant bell rang on the ship, and the tense atmosphere was like snow melting. An inexplicable warm current flowed in Xue Duyu's heart, and the anger and killing intent in his mind disappeared.

The Shengyuan Golden Boat in the fairyland ushered in a figure like an immortal.

Zhou Yu appeared on the deck.

With his figure appearing, those people who were highly nervous because of Lu Bieli's arrival suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. There is an elder speaker, and the new grandmaster of the Qin State can't make waves at all.

What's more, there is more than one Saint Yuan Grandmaster on the ship?

"Lu Bieli, your time of death has arrived!" Xue Duyu whispered viciously.

In the end, he didn't dare to let Lu Bieli hear it.

However, Zhou Yu, who arrived urgently, failed to meet Xue Duyu's expectations. In the face of Lu Bieli's uninvited guest, Zhou Yu just raised his hand, so he and Lu Bieli's figures disappeared on the deck at the same time.

Lu Bieli only felt that in the blink of an eye, the world changed.

The dark clouds overhead were replaced by blue clear skies, and the black sea was no longer burning beneath our feet, but endless greenery.

This is no longer the deck of the Shengyuan Golden Ship, but the "reception room" that Zhou Yu specially used to entertain Lu Bieli.

"It is rare for the Lord of Lu City to come, but my country has lost its welcome, and he still looks at Haihan. However, why did the City Lord Lu come to visit suddenly?"

Lu Bieli faced Zhou Yu, and he was no longer at ease with the hegemon, but just frankly stated his intentions.

"I'm going to the Eastern Continent to explore the ancient ruins, so I'm going to say hello to the owner of the Eastern Continent. ”

Zhou Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm not the master of the Eastern Continent, at most I'm just a guard." ”

Lu Bieli said: "But whether my trip is feasible depends on the meaning of your guard. ”

Zhou Yu quickly responded: "Of course it is feasible, Lord Lu is here as an exchange visiting scholar, right?"

Lu Bieli said: "Yes, according to the agreement between the two countries, the exchange of demonic paths, especially the visit and exchange of grandmaster level, should be facilitated by both sides. I'm not mistaken, right?"

"Of course it's true, the Grandmaster does have the corresponding privileges, after all, there are very few people in this circle...... And now that you have indeed stepped into the realm of the Grandmaster, you can naturally enjoy the treatment of the Grandmaster. During this year, as long as the Qin State does not send any additional people to replace your place, you will naturally get the VIP treatment you deserve. Now that the Blazing Feather Island Conference has kicked off a craze for exploration in ancient times, the related ruins will gradually open up, and you can freely explore in depth. ”

Zhou Yu said again: "But you are a descendant of the Lu family after all, and walking on the land of Shengyuan, there will inevitably be all kinds of embarrassments. ”

Lu Bieli said: "It doesn't matter, I don't care. ”

"Okay, then I wish City Lord Lu all the best in the Shengyuan Continent. ”

After speaking, Zhou Yu dispersed the dialogue space that only accommodated the two of them, and brought Lu Bieli back to the deck of the golden ship, and then the first person in the world stretched out his hand and pointed at Xue Duyu.

"Director Xue, please take more time to entertain the guests of the Qin State later. ”

Zhou Yu's prestige and reputation are out-and-out gods and suns in the hearts of Shengyuan people. Xue Duyu received the task assigned by Zhou Yu personally, and he felt his blood boiling for a while, and a sense of mission arose.

"Don't worry, Speaker, I'll complete the task!"

——

The effectiveness of stimulants has receded, leaving people with nothing but endless emptiness.

Xue Duyu never used the drugs of the evil sect, but at this time, he also experienced the withdrawal reaction brought about by the drugs of the evil sect.

After bidding farewell to Zhou Yu, he became Lu Bieli's special tour guide, taking him around the Shengyuan Golden Boat with detailed explanations. And as time went by, the excitement brought by the first person in the world gradually subsided, and Xue Duyu felt more and more uncomfortable.

The dignified director of the Second Royal Library of the Shengyuan Empire, the most staunch anti-Qin general, why should he be a tour guide for a Qin national?

Especially this Qin native is still Lu Hao's descendant!

1,800 years ago, Xue Duyu's ancestor died on the battlefield of the Western Continent, and it can be said that the two sides have a relationship of enemies who do not share the same heaven at all! It can be said that he is now in such a groveling posture as a servant in front of the enemy......

Betraying the country to seek glory?

Xue Duyu couldn't think of an accurate adjective for a while, but the shame in his heart had already accumulated as if a mountain fire was boiling.

In this regard, Lu Bieli turned a blind eye.

"What's over there?"

Lu Bieli stretched out his hand and pointed to a milky white metal ball suspended by an invisible silk thread on the side of the ship.

Xue Duyu said coldly: "Escape boat." ”

"Tsk, you even have to pack the escape boat and put it in the storage ball, isn't it too troublesome?"

Xue Duyu sneered and did not comment.

To say troublesome...... Of course, it is troublesome, but the biggest difference between a superior country with a historical background and an inferior country established and ruled by an exploding household.

The Qin people, who were eager for quick success, made the most of the design of the ship to the extreme, and everything served the purpose.

The golden boat of the Shengyuan people is entrusted with the atmosphere and ease of the ancient civilization, and many designs are not to pursue a specific effect, but to make the gold ship more harmonious and elegant as a whole.

Those who are born in the muddy pond will never be able to understand it.

Of course, these words can't be said directly, after all, Xue Duyu shoulders the mission entrusted by the speaker, and he doesn't dare to slack off at all.

But why do you have to say some words to make the other person understand?

Xue Duyu's just right sneer, as well as his wandering gaze, were enough to express his true thoughts to Lu Bieli.

In this regard, Lu Bieli responded with laughter, of course, a more cold sneer.

"No wonder after the war 1800 years ago, the ancestors recalled that the Shengyuan Expeditionary Force was flashy, and it turned out that they used their minds in useless places. ”

This kind of behavior of directly riding on the face with sensitive history suddenly made Xue Du's tone suffocate.

"You...... It's too much of a rampant!"

At this moment, Xue Duyu even threw away the instructions of the speaker in a trance, and just wanted to represent Shengyuan and Lu Bieli at this moment!

In this regard, Lu Bieli just touched his stomach: "I'm hungry, where is the canteen?"

Xue Du gritted his teeth in anger, and he couldn't wait to spit the stagnant qi and blood on Lu Bieli's face on the spot.

This slut uses sensitive history to tease others, but he abandons it from the beginning to the end, which is really the best among sluts!

But...... After all, he has a mission entrusted by the Speaker on his shoulders, and no matter how unwilling he is, he can only force a smile.

"Okay, I'll take City Lord Lu to the cafeteria. ”

——

The canteen on the Shengyuan Gold ship can be called one of the façades of this ship.

The area of more than 2,000 square meters must be compressed by the magic power of the space-time domain and placed in the golden ship. There are more than 20 windows in the cafeteria, and a team of more than 10 chefs can serve the flavors of the Eastern and Western continents anytime and anywhere.

The luxury in this is far from being comparable to gold bricks and jade tiles.

In fact, this gold ship was built 300 years ago, and its design blueprint can be traced back to more than a thousand years of history, although it has been repaired and transformed several times, and now the technical level has indeed been a little backward, no matter how carefully polished the appearance, it is difficult to compare with the more modern Qin black ship.

Therefore, the Shengyuan people also "found another way", in the luxury temperament, staffing and other levels of great effort, do enough differentiated design, and the effect of this design also lives up to expectations, although the cost of Shengyuan's gold ship is high, the maintenance cost is higher, and the safety of driving around Blazing Feather Island is slightly lower than that of the Qin black ship, but the ship's clothing is far better than the Qin black ship, which fully highlights the noble heritage of Shengyuan.

Lu Bieli stood at the door of the cafeteria, looking at the glitz of the Shengyuan people, but his heart was not moved at all.

Shengyuan people have a long history and a prosperous country, and they have always liked to play in indifferent places, which is nothing new.

But...... Lu Bieli wrinkled his nose, and always felt that in this place where the food was gathered and the fragrance was attractive, he smelled a familiar smell.

It's a pity that he didn't need to be detailed, so he listened to Xue Duyu beside him and said proudly: "Even in the sea area of Blazing Feather Island, where thunder and fire are intertwined, as long as there is this Shengyuan Golden Ship, people can taste all the essence of the world's food, the Shaking Moon Syrup in Thunderstone City, the Blue Jade Tofu in the Jade Pavilion, or the Ninety-Nine Broken Moon Soup in your Red Mountain City, all of them can be supplied here with the original taste, which is also a unique environment that can only be created by the Shengyuan Empire, which is inclusive of all things, I am afraid that even if the people of the Western Continent are respected as city lords, they may not be able to have such a mouthful." ”

Lu Bieli glanced at him, and only sneered at this naked and low-end provocation.

"The people of the Western Continent are indeed inferior to you. However, in my impression, the last person who showed off his extravagance in front of the people of the Western Continent seemed to be called Yuan Pu, who served as the governor of the colonies of the Western Continent before 1800. Thanks to his extreme poverty and luxury in the territory, the wine pond and meat forest, the ancestor Lu Hao's uprising was like a bamboo. ”

"You!?" Xue Du's tone swelled up, and his heart burned.

Lu Bieli said again: "So I am overjoyed to see that the Shengyuan people are still indulging in appetite to this day. ”

As he spoke, Lu Bieli turned his head sideways and smiled "enthusiastically" at Xue Duyu, and said, "Maybe in the history books a hundred years later, today's dialogue will be preserved, and Dean Xue can also be as famous as Yuan Pu." ”

Xue Duyu was so angry that his eyes were full of stars, and he wanted to spit blood.

Fortunately, someone in the cafeteria had already noticed the abnormality at the door, and a simple and obese middle-aged man ran to play a round while wiping his sweat: "Daqin's distinguished guests are here, why are you standing at the door? Come inside, please, we have already prepared a good private room for Lord Lucheng. ”

When Xue Duyu saw this fat man, his expression was dazed, and he hurriedly took half a step back, not daring to compete with this person for the limelight.

Although this fat man looks cute and harmless to humans and animals, he is the great nobleman Bei Zimo whose status is second only to the captain on this ship, and he is a famous "half-step grandmaster" in the empire.

With him coming forward, Xue Duyu, the district curator, naturally couldn't be presumptuous anymore, so he had to grit his teeth and suppress his anger and stop talking.

Bei Zimo's so-called private room that had been prepared for a long time was, of course, hastily prepared, but when Lu Bieli entered the private room, he saw a quaint pavilion surrounded by green trees behind the door, small bridges and flowing water, and streams, and a table of wine and food was placed in the middle, as if it had really been prepared.

Lu Bieli couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Although I can't get used to the excessive "can't get tired of eating" of Shengyuan people, I can prepare a banquet in a hurry, and this ability to provide logistical support is indeed something to be proud of......

However, this thought only stayed in Lu Bieli's mind for a moment, he didn't come to this boat to eat and drink, after sitting down, he just simply coped with a few toasts, and then guarded the dishes in front of him without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xue Duyu couldn't help but be sarcastic: "I can't imagine that the descendants of the 'overlord' of the main hall of Lucheng, the princely family in 1800, still retain the simple style of their ancestors, and they can't get used to the high-quality food of our Shengyuan......"

Without saying that, there was a fat foot under the dining table, and he secretly stepped down hard, and in an instant, there was a muffled sound of flesh and bone shattering, accompanied by a surging pain like a sea tide, bombarding Xue Duyu's nerves.

The emaciated scholar threw himself on the table on the spot, unable to speak in pain.

The short and chubby Bei Zimo seemed to have nothing happened, and greeted Lu Bieli with a concerned face: "Lord Lu is not used to the flavor of Vientiane City?" This table of banquets is my own opinion, and I have not considered the choice of dishes, and I hope that Haihan ...... What the city lord wants to eat, please be blunt, I will do everything possible to meet the needs of the city lord. ”

Lu Bieli pondered for a moment, and recalled in his mind the familiar smell he smelled when he stood at the door of the cafeteria not long ago.

"One serving of fried chicken. ”

Bei Zimo was also stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "Haha, you are worthy of being the city lord." ”

After laughing twice, Bei Zimo sighed again, patted his stomach, and took the initiative to give Lu Bieli a round: "If you want to say that this food in the world, the most beautiful thing is the word 'palatable', that kind of flowery mountain and sea delicacies, for the princes and nobles, it is something that has been eaten since childhood, and only poor and sour civilians will make a fuss." On the contrary, it is a small dish of porridge, coarse tea and light rice, but it is precious. ”

Xue Duyu, who was secretly belittled as a poor civilian, couldn't wait to "work hard", but at this time, he could only force the green tendons in his temples and force a smile: "It's ...... to say"

Bei Zimo also said: "1,200 years ago, Shengyuan also had a mad king, who was different everywhere, even the steak was only fully cooked, and hundreds of meat buns were used to entertain VIPs in the palace......

Lu Beili saw that Bei Zimo was good at dancing with long sleeves, talking nonsense, and he was funny in his heart.

Zhou Yu is also interesting, he knew that there was such a good person on the ship to receive and entertain guests, why did he let Xue Duyu entertain him?

Yes, Bei Zimo is too slippery, and his speech and demeanor are flawless, making it difficult for people to find fault and make trouble. And Xue Duyu is different, he is simply an active sadistic psychopath, thanks to him, he just vented his emotions.

But now is not the time to waste time to be polite.

And just as Bei Zimo was changing his compliments in a variety of ways, three knocks on the door sounded softly outside the private room, and the two maids carefully carried a plate of fried chicken to the table.

The rich and flamboyant aroma of meat and oil overwhelmed the hundred dishes on the wine table in an instant.

Even Xue Duyu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and then an infinite emotion of shame surged in his heart: I am the director of the Second Royal Library, a scholarly family, and an aristocratic family, how can I feel appetizing for this kind of common people's diet!

This greasy fried chicken is clearly a corner window of the canteen, which is specially provided with "inferior food" for ordinary sailors! With Xue Duyu's family background and identity, he would rather starve to death and jump into the sea from a ship than eat it!

But...... It's really fragrant.

At the wine table, Lu Bieli, who was more prominent, had no scruples, even saved chopsticks, directly reached out and took two chicken legs, and devoured them regardless of the greasy.

Xue Duyu only saw that his eyes hurt, but Bei Zimo still smiled, and did not forget to play the round: "It seems that the city lord of Lu is also a person who is good at food, and he knows that the biggest trick to enjoying food is to use the 'most suitable way to eat'." This fried chicken is inexpensive and simple, and it was first popularized among the lower class laborers, directly pinching the fried chicken with their fingers, feeling the puff pastry and grease wrapped in the outer layer, and the fingertips slicing the smooth chicken under the wrapping......"

Lu Bieli was not interested in listening to Bei Zimo explain the historical reason for the fried chicken, and after gobbling up two chicken legs, he said, "Where is the chef, I want to see the chef." ”

At this time, even Bei Zimo was surprised: "But what's wrong with this chicken leg?"

Lu Bieli sneered: "There's nothing wrong with it, I just think it tastes authentic and authentic, and I want to see who can make this seemingly simple delicacy like a perfect realm." ”

Bei Zimo was suspicious, but he still agreed.

"I'm going to call someone to get a cook. ”

Lu Bieli stood up: "No need, I'd better visit in person...... Dean Xue, Master Pei, please stay. ”

Xue Duyu couldn't help but say, "What the hell are you doing away with Lu Beiyou?!"

Bei Zimo stretched out his hand to stop him, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll let my subordinates take the city lord to the back kitchen." ”

——

Lu Bieli, led by two maids, quickly found a small kitchen in the back kitchen of the canteen that served fried chicken.

"Lord of the City, the chef you are looking for is inside. The maid at the head hung her head, holding back the pain in her eyes and the trembling of her legs as cold sweat slid down her forehead.

For most Shengyuan people, the word Lu family has a special meaning.

Although the tragedy before 1800 years ago is history, for the Shengyuan people who have a long history and pay attention to the inheritance of the torch, no matter how long the history is, it also has fresh vitality. What's more, although Lu Hao died 1800 years ago, the descendants of the Lu family have always been alive.

This Lu parting is even more outrageous, with a halo on his head, wings spread on his back, and when he walked in the back kitchen passage, his wings almost scraped the outer wall of the passage...... This kind of maverick is more terrifying than any evil spirit, demon and monster. The two maids walked all the way, only to feel that their hearts could stop beating at any moment.

Lu Bieli waved his hand: "Go down, I have something to say to him alone." ”

Although it stands to reason that there is no reason for outsiders to meet and talk with the kitchen staff alone, the two maids have long been "swoon" by the brilliant light pollution of Lu Biling.

Lu Bieli pushed the door and went in.

After entering the door, I saw that in the spacious kitchen, there was only a tall thin man in a pure white chef's uniform, standing in front of the oil pot intently.

Lu Bieli was just about to step forward, when the chef suddenly fished out a pair of chopsticks from the oil pot and pointed at Lu Bieli like a spear.

"Didn't you see the outsiders at the door stop?!Do you have any comments to ask the waiter to say, I'm not responsible for serving people!"

Lu Bieli couldn't help but laugh at these evil words: "There are no outsiders here, Zheng Liming, who are you acting for?"
